PowerPlex® for mobile homes and caravans

With a single touch, the users can switch off lights and switch on the air condition. Or they control everything at the same time which is part of a pre-defined scenario. Users can view all vehicle information on screens, such as water tank levels or battery condition. Or they rely on PowerPlex® to inform them immediately as soon as any action needs to be taken.

PowerPlex® allows control and monitoring of the on-board electrical system via smartphones, tablets, touch displays or key pads. Thanks to the various operating options, controlling the entire on-board equipment is child’s play.

For applications in leisure vehicles, E-T-A co-operates with major manufacturers of electronic equipment. This tops off the entire solution and continuously enhances the functionalities of PowerPlex®.
